Last disc it appeared on that I'm aware of was "Midnite Blues Party Vol. 2" Wine, Wine, Wine – The Electric Flag (w/ guitarist Mike Bloomfield) is on their "A Long Time Comin'" album. Loretta Lynn – Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' is on a three disc book format set called "Honky Tonk Girl". As with the Merle Haggard set above, this contains all the Loretta Lynn songs Bob has featured on Theme Time Radio Hour. Porter Wagoner – Daddy and the Wine Its been a hard job trying to trace anything by Porter Wagoner on current CDs. What is available seems to be various compilations all centered around the same handful of songs (or his duets with Dolly Parton, or gospel material), so come on RCA et al, lets have a proper re-issue campaign of some of Porter's best albums. The only bright side to this is that the other two of his songs played by Bob are on CD. More on that when the time comes. Maybe Sundazed could do here what they have with Buck Owens' back catalogue? For the record, this track first appeared on the album "The Bottom Of The Bottle", but I haven't been able to find a trace of it now. Any help will be gratefully appreciated. Mary Gauthier – I Drink is on her current album "Mercy Now" Charles Aznavour – I Drink (“…sings in six languages – French, English, Italian. He's written over a thousand songs…I only know about half of them”) from one side of the musical fence to the other, this is on the old French smoothie's album "You And Me" Jimmy Rogers – Sloppy Drunk not to be confused with either The Singing Brakeman (Jimmie Rodgers) or the rockabilly (Jimmie Rogers), this track by the great bluesman can be found on CD called "His Best". Lonnie The Cat – I Ain't Drunk Lonnie (real name, Lonnie Cation) was backed by members of Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm during the recording of this track in March 1954. It appears on the Ace CD "Rhythm Rockin' Blues" (which is credited overall to Ike Turner's Kings Of Rhythm). Johnny Tyler and his Riders of the Rio Grande – It Ain't Far to the Bar (“Western swing music: a mixture of country, cowboy, polka, and folk music, blended together with a jazzy swing, little bit of New Orleans jazz and blues. Got everything from a pedal steel to a bunch a saxophones.)” this features on a very fine Proper 4-CD set "Stompin' Singers And Western Swingers", which also contains at least three other songs played on TTRH, so a very high recommendation all round. This Tyler track can also be found on a CD devoted to the man called "Two Dozen Western Swing And Boogie Jewels" on the German based Cattle Compact imprint. These German discs, whilst not official CDs, can sometimes be found. On the internet, go to www.dagmar-anita-binge.de . This CD will turn up again later. Hank Williams, Jr. / (Rockin' Randall) Bocephus – What's on the Bar is on his album "I'm One Of You" . The Clovers – One Mint Julep one of the great black vocal tracks of the pre-rock 'n' roll era, this turns up on any Clovers CD worthy of the name. It can also be found, for instance, on "Atlantic R&B Vol. 1: 1947-1952" and numerous doo wop collections The Andrews Sisters (Laverne, Maxine, and Patty) – Rum and Coca Cola check out pretty much any Andrews Sisters compilation, eg, "The Very Best Of The Andrews Sisters" for this, one of their most famous sides . John Lee Hooker – One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer (“One of those guys that recorded under a thousand different names, John Booker being one, Johnnie Lee, The Boogie Boy…John Lee… one of those guys that always sounds better without a band...13 bars here, 11 bars there, 9 there… it doesn't matter to him. Nobody can do more with less than John Lee Hooker. A band's gotta hold on for dear life just to keep up.)” this is a mid-60s recording made for Chess. It can be found on "The Best Of John Lee Hooker 1965 to 1974" etc (european fans may need to buy this disc from the US, as it appears to be deleted over here). Charlie Walker – Who Will Buy The Wine is on his "Greatest Honky Tonk Hits" Betty Hall Jones – Buddy Stay Off That Wine see "The Complete Recordings 1947-1954" Clancy Brothers and Tommy Maken – Whiskey, You're the Devil is on their second album "Come Fill Your Glass With Us: Irish Songs Of Drinking & Blackguarding". My copy is on the Tradition label, but there may be more than one issue floating around .
